Stevie Howell

Stevie Howell is a textile artist, painter and muralist whose work is often grounded in nature with a focus on botanicals. Howell’s designs balance softness and structure, transforming familiar motifs into layered, tactile compositions. 

Art We Felt is an ongoing series that recreates iconic exhibition posters as detailed needle-felted and embroidered textiles. Each piece is entirely made by hand, blending meticulous technique with playful subversion.

The series raises questions around homage, appropriation, and authorship—especially as it reimagines masculine-coded museum posters through traditionally feminized fiber art. By doing so, Art We Felt challenges the boundary between fine art and craft, and insists: some art is too good not to be felt. Art We Felt, is a little art history, a little parody, and a whole lot of craftsmanship.
